Loading from and storing to small aggregates happens by casting the aggregate pointer to an appropriately sized integer pointer to avoid the usage of first class aggregates which would lead to less optimized code. But this means that, for example, a tuple of type (i16, i16) will be loading through an i32 pointer and because we currently don't provide alignment information LLVM assumes that the load should use the ABI alignment for i32 which would usually be 4 byte alignment. But the alignment requirement for the (i16, i16) tuple will usually be just 2 bytes, so we're overestimating alignment, which invokes undefined behaviour. Therefore we must emit appropriate alignment information for stores/loads through such casted pointers. Fixes rust-lang#23431

The attached source produces code that misbehaves on some platforms that are picky about memory access alignment. The code should exit with code 2, but on both Emscripten-generated JavaScript and ARMv5, it finishes with exit code 1 to indicate that the
en
field is incorrectly tested as equal toEnum::A
. Changing theval
field to au32
type results in proper execution on these platforms. All optimization levels seem to cause it.Libraries that make use of structs with
u8
fields followed by enums seem particularly prone to this problem. It all works fine on platforms that allow unaligned memory access like x86, ARMv6, etc.Expected output: (x86, ARMv6)
Actual output: (ARMv5, Emscripten)
Note that the same ARM binary runs on both ARMv5 and ARMv6 platforms, producing the different results.
